First Witch's Diary--------------------------------------------------------Time Written: Before the Tragedy of Macbeth

________________________________________________________________________By Jack Wu
18 February 1606                                                                 

          The stage is set in cauldron bubble; the missing ingredient is a thane in trouble. Who to play the role better than impressionable Macbeth, whose tragedy will ultimately end in death. God can’t protect Macbeth now. Mark! Mark! He shall live under a spell forbid. The realm of supernatural! I call upon you! Embrace my body with all your wisdom; fill me with your sorcery to make the situation slippery. I will water the large seed of ambition buried inside Macbeth. It’ll grow through his head and he’ll be dead. A little prophecy to Macbeth it will inspire, to defy heaven with his insatiable desire. The thane of Cawdor will be my treat, but King of Scotland will be his to defeat. By placing this temptation in his mind, I shall lead Macbeth to his own destruction. His weaknesses which do seem natural will betray him in deepest consequence. With my deceiving apparitions, Macbeth shall feel supremely confident of his future with false hope. As such, before his death, a chance to live given by his kinsman, Macduff, will be missed. When Lady Macbeth is in despair, I shall take the form of evil air and it’s her who I’ll ensnare. His wife shall be under my control. All her feminine qualities will be stripped. I will manipulate her to pressure Macbeth to make my plans come to fruition. Let darkness fall upon Hecate’s eyes to mask the treachery I will commit. All three sisters round and round, chanting predictions that are bound. Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air. Come, Macbeth if you dare, for you will witness my mesmerizing glare.
